Woods’ father, Earl, once said his son will be the toughest golfer to play against because no one will be able to beat him mentally. In the sport that’s perhaps the most mentally demanding, no one is better. Remember Woods battling through knee and leg pain to beat Rocco Mediate in extra holes during the 2008 U.S. Open? He could have withdrawn, but instead grimaced his way to his 14th Major victory. Back in 2003, Woods was so sick during the fourth round of the Bay Hill Invitational that he threw up several times during his play -- and still won the tournament by 11 strokes.

The hardest mental battle has been since his washout in the wake of his cheating and divorce scandal. It takes the absolute strongest resolve to come back after your reputation is ruined, but that's what Tiger has.
